4 Steps To Feel Better In Your Body
As the founder of We Shape, I'm excited to share our unique approach to helping people transform how they feel in and about their bodies. Our program goes far beyond just teaching movements and stretches. We've developed a comprehensive four-pillar system that has helped countless individuals achieve amazing results.
Let me take you through each of these pillars and explain why they're so crucial to your journey towards feeling great again.
Our first pillar focuses on movement. We've deliberately chosen this term over "exercise" because, as I often say, "most people have a negative association with the word exercise." Think about it - when someone suggests starting an exercise routine, your immediate reaction might be reluctance. Instead, we aim to reconnect you with the joyful, carefree movement you experienced as a child. As I like to remind our members, "when we were children we used to just go play and have fun and run around and move freely and that's what we should actually be doing as adults as well."
The second pillar revolves around intention, or your "why." Many people approach fitness with the sole goal of losing weight or changing their appearance. However, I've observed that this rarely leads to lasting happiness. Instead, we encourage setting intentions based on self-worth and self-care. As I often tell our members, "The only real way to start genuinely feeling better about yourself is to start that process right now." When you shift your intention, you'll find that working out becomes something you get to do, rather than something you have to do.
Our third pillar might surprise you - it's all about community. While most people start a fitness journey to live longer, research shows that community is actually one of the most significant factors in longevity. That's why we place such a strong emphasis on building connections within our We Shape family. As I always say, "you have to make sure that on top of your workout routine you have a community of people who can hold you through those challenges and celebrate your wins."
The fourth and final pillar of We Shape focuses on reflecting on and reshaping your beliefs. This is perhaps the most transformative aspect of our program. I often share this powerful insight with our members: "You don't have to believe all the thoughts you think." We provide tools to help you challenge negative self-talk and replace it with affirming, positive thoughts. This process is crucial for long-term success in feeling better about your body.
The impact of these four pillars working together is truly remarkable. One of our members shared, "It feels like a complete overhaul of all the beliefs that I healed about what constitutes health and fitness." Another expressed gratitude for "changing the belief systems... focusing on I have to look better I have to look better but no it's just about feeling better."
What sets We Shape apart is our holistic approach. We don't just focus on physical changes; we address the mental and emotional aspects of wellness too. As one member put it, "The biggest thing is creating that inner voice that is stronger than my old inner voice." This shift in perspective can be life-changing.
In conclusion
The sense of community we foster is another key factor in our members' success. One participant noted, "The community comes together to cheer people on. This is what brings me back to we shape every single time." This support system is invaluable in maintaining motivation and celebrating achievements.
Perhaps the most rewarding feedback we receive is about the profound personal transformations our members experience. One member shared, "When I joined Weshape I would never have been able to say that I love myself or my body and I'm really grateful to you." Statements like these remind me why we do what we do at We Shape.
